There was only a moderate business al
about the prices of the day before though
buyers were not taking hold eagerly. Local
millers are out of the market except for an
occasional small lot of good milling, wheat.
The water mills have about all ceased grind
ing on account of low water. Receipts of
wheat were $50 ears with 80 shipped. Du-
lnth received 145 cars. A good deal of the
wheat offered was carried away unsOld. Fol

Flour-The movement was steady to-day
and local manufacturers were firm in their
ideas of values. The upward movement has
not yet equaled the rise in wheat, and it may
not until buyers become satisfied that the
rise in that has come TO stay. The advance
has been too rapid in wheat to be expected
to hold without reaction. If the reaction
wnen il comes does not prove serious -four
will most likely take strong position. The
production during the winter will not equal
that of few months past, as the low stage
of water in the river will prove a serious
hinderance. Sales at the Atlantic cities were
generally on the basis of S5@5.15 for pat
